NEW
Former Michigan Governor Jim Blanchard โ a longtime friend and supporter of Haley Stevens โ says he was having dinner on Friday with Stevens and her fiancรฉ, and that Stevens was excited to attend the church service with Jim Clyburn and Abdul El-Sayed.
Blanchard said that Stevensโ fiancรฉ, Jason Turkish, began chiding her at the dinner.
โHe was working her over. The way he was saying it was, โEveryone is disappointed in you, they did everything they could to help you and then immediately after you lose the primary, you endorsed him.โโ
โHe was all distraught,โ he said.
โHe was all strung out about Abdul. I let her know, heโs not a good influence.โ
Blanchard remained in touch with Stevens throughout the weekend and expected her to attend the church service. He only found out from the news that she was at the service with Rogers and endorsing him.
โSomething snapped in her. And it snapped in 24 hours,โ Blanchard told Zach Gorchow of State Affairs.
โAnd I donโt know what.โ
Blanchard, clearly pained by the situation, said several times, โThis is not the Haley I know.โ
He lamented Turkishโs โterrible political judgment.โ

This is terribly sad. I trust Gov. Blanchard. What he's describing sounds like emotional abuse/manipulation. I'm going to try to keep my venting re: Stevens to a minimum.
I might say some things, but I hope we can minimize pile-ons. This whole situation is politically toxic & if this is true, it's personally toxic too. The detail about Stevens texting Blanchard and Clyburn is heart-breaking.
What an unusual situation: the NYT reports Marshall filmed the ad personally against the advice of his campaign team. Then his staff still refused to air it, so he personally sent it around to media folks to share it: nytimes.com/2026/11/01/us/elโฆ

Expel her from the Party
Jeffries should throw her out of the Dem Caucus.
Everyone should denounce her immediately.

We were in the middle of a govt shutdown, the longest in history, continuing for 43 days until November 12. The Trump admin tried to stop funding SNAP, leaving vulnerable Americans hungry. The GOP went along with him. Then Blue State AGs & Govs went to court. joycevance.substack.com/p/a-โฆ

Any day of the week, Michiganders care more about the price of gas or groceries than the daily political drama or the last-minute moves by politicians for the TV cameras.
I was knocking doors in Sterling Heights yesterday and to a house, those folks were hyper-focused on how expensive everything in their life seems to be, and theyโre desperately worried โ often in tears โ about the future for their kids.
And it is for that reason that I have avoided commenting on the actions of Congresswoman Haley Stevens until now.
But there is simply too much at stake. We have to be focused on the mission at hand. That mission is to put a check on President Trump in the U.S. House and Senate, and do the hard work of saving the middle class.
So anyone who makes an election this important about themselves, and not Michiganders and our democracy, should think hard about whether they are serving the greater good.
People outside of Michigan sometimes have a hard time understanding our politics. And in moments like these, I get it.
But hereโs the simple truth: The election on Tuesday is bigger than any one person. Itโs about who we are as a country and the values that most represent us.
Michigan elects fighters, and we will elect @AbdulElSayed on November 3.

Stevensโ video endorsing Mike Rogers is entirely about herself and her hurt feelings, she doesnโt talk about policies or issues that matter to voters, the things she previously said this campaign was about. It makes it all about her, and I suspect it wonโt sway very many people.

Early voting forecast suggests blue wave, Dems could exceed 2018 turnout advantage. Republicans need highest-ever Election Day vote to meet 2022/24 levels

An 8-state poll drop by YouGov shows Dems up in enough states to flip Senate, & then some...
... but many surveys are very, very close, highlighting uncertainty.
Dems up 11 in NC, up 5 in ME, up 4 in MI, up 4 in TX, up 2 in OH, up 1 in KS, up 1 in IA. Osborn even in NE. (No AK)

Thank you @BillKristol.
I hear Dem operatives going on about how kitchen table issues matter. They do. But why the huge and disproportionate surge in black and Latino turnout? Surely it has to do with assaults on civil rights and immigrants. Democracy may not matter much to Dem operatives; it matters to lots of Dem voters.

Hopefully this continues until there is no more refining capacity left in Russia. So much for Putinโs attempt to get Trump to stop this with bluster
Continuing to burn throughout the day, Russia's 11 syllabled LUKOIL-Nizhegorodnefteorgsintez refinery - the 2nd largest gasoline producer in the country - now confirmed to be totally out of commission, having suffered precision strikes in its key processing units.
With the US no longer standing in the way, Putin's oil industry is doomed.

"one of the most impressive feats in political history"
lol. why do these people have to make every race (they're involved in) like this? Every time.
Come Wednesday, if Abdul wins I donโt want to hear a word from ANYONE about his margin and any โunderperformance.โ Between Haleyโs fuckery, the $70 million spent against him in the primary, and the insanely racist attacks on him, an Abdul victory will be one of the most impressive feats in political history.

What bothers me the most about this is that Stevens had a point about the Cenk video--which was really heinous--but this petty action makes it look like Stevens was entirely governed by personal issues, rather than by principle.
